We'll share some photos with you, along with some quotes from a few fighters at the press conference. Thanks to Autosoft Romania for the photos.

Catalin Morosanu on himself and how he matches up with Paul Slowinski: "What I can already say to Slowinski is that I have heavy shots."

Raul Catinas on his opponent Ben Edwards: "Edwards is a very strong fighter who is good with his punches, but I am in top form, especially since five months ago I won the SuperKombat tournament so I want to win in K-1."

Benjamin Adegbuyi on representing Nigeria: "I still have the tricolor flag of Romania with me and I hope to enjoy a victory that I dedicate to all my friends and fans in Romania."
